They have lots of what I think of as comfy old lady gear -- they have a brand of clothing that looks a lot like Lilly Pulitzer but is less expensive, cozy slippers, Vera Bradley bags. Great place to shop for Mother's Day basically. There's a full aisle of Hallmark cards, another aisle of wrapping paper and other gift wrapping items, lots of yummy candies including big brands like jelly belly and Russell Stover and a local section featuring Hellman's nuts and candies. They also have a full service pharmacy, and an ice cream shop at the front of the store.

I have come to once again to Yelp after some years to sing the praises once again for Advanced…read moreHealth Pharmacy, the one on Oakland near Centre. The main pharmacists and others since have invariably been attentive and helped above and beyond the general care and caring. It has grown since the 22 years when I began as a customer. In all that time I have received exceptional attention. Once, recently, a single prescription was not delivered on time and when I called to find out what the happened the response was surprise with immediate remedying of the situation and bountiful apologies. Only once in 22 years and yet here on Yelp I read two negative reviews. Hard to figure out how that could have happened. They are by far the best and I have used many pharmacies in 5 cities of 3 countries. Thank you Advanced Health on Oakland near Centre!

One of the worst pharmacies I've ever used. The first month they did pill packs with scripts I…read morewasn't even on listed. Then month after month there were struggles to get simple things completed. I have waited over a month for refills with no movement, last week my husband followed up on these scripts and was told they weren't filling them since I already had a refill. I have new insurance and these aren't controlled substances so my husband reiterated to fill it now. Today after my husband received a refill and I spoke to the driver asking where mine was. I called the pharmacy and was transferred twice on my lunch break. I gave up and am finding a new pharmacy for myself and my family because they have proven once too many times by delaying scripts and writing the wrong scripts on pill packs they can't be trusted. Our health is at stake with these people.

Pharmacists don't seem to have any sympathy to hurting people's frustrations lady ne t to me was telling pharmacist that she couldn't wait another 20 minutes and her husband couldn't take other products due to a bleeding ulcer.

They haven't gotten any of my scripts filled on time in almost a year, given 24+ hours to fill them. Nothing complicated or controlled substances, several of the medications have been blister packs that don't require pills being counted. They always ignore my comments about not giving me the pack containers with every refill (these are separate from the pills) because it's a waste of plastic and I can just reuse the old ones. Nope, I still get one every time. I requested a refill Monday morning to pick up Tuesday evening, and as of Wednesday morning, it still hasn't been filled. I'll be transferring away from this place soon.

Absolutely do not use this Pharmacy. I have made 4 separate visits to pick up a prescription I was…read moretold would be ready. Each time I received a different story about why it wasn't ready. Everything from "we didn't fill it because it's too expensive" to "we have to order it" to "it isn't made anymore so "we will call your doctor for the generic equivalent." Today it went back to the "it's too expensive and we have to order it" to "the doctors never call us back" and ending with the pharmacy tech throwing up her hands saying"I don't know what to tell you...I don't work in the mornings". Absolutely no attempt to problem solve. I have had many such issues over the years with this location so I think they have run out of chances.

Walgreen's website offers in-store testing by appointment. Assuming that your pharmacists and aides have been given training I made an appointment for Sunday, September 27, at 8:30 at the3 Walgreens on Shaver Road in Portage. When I arrived, I was informed that the pharmacist and aide have not been trained and could not administer the test or read the results. They advised me to arrange an appointment at another store. I drove the twenty minutes back home and called another store on Westnedge and Whites Road in Kalamazoo and asked the customer service person in the pharmacy there if they administer the in-store test. That person replied in the affirmative. So I drove thirty minutes to that store. Upon arrival I was told that they could do the test or I could buy the test, take it home and do it myself. The customer service person told me it was the same test. She said it was right here and pointed at a blank wall inside the pharmacy cage. When I asked, where since she was pointing at a wall, she told me that it was on the other side of the wall she was pointing at. When I asked which test I should choose, she answered curtly, "Whichever one I wanted." Overall the experience I have had with Walgreen today is enough to make me not return, ever.
